This combined degree is distinguished by the expert teaching of the Sheffield Methods Institute in the School of Education, whose team bring together the many layers and perspectives of three subjects into one coherent course. You'll also have the opportunity to take up a language or additional courses in the social sciences and humanities.

Shaping the degree to match your interests, you’ll combine modules as diverse as metaphysics, Chinese politics and digital storytelling. In fact, this is a degree defined by variety and choice: with options to spend a year abroad, or complete year-long or summer work placements. You can specialise in quantitative economics by selecting BSc Politics, Philosophy and Economics. You will also have the opportunity to switch from BA to BSc on arrival.

And thanks to our partnerships with Civil Service departments based right here in Sheffield and many other employers, you’ll have the opportunity to gain valuable employment experience – working for governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other third sector employers focused on public policy.
